I just became a follower! I went to your store and I love the scalloped edge sun hat - so cute! My favorite Christmas tradition is sharing a glass of wine and some nice appys with my husband on Christmas eve, after the kiddies are in bed.

My favorite Christmas traditions are, 1.) decorating the tree as a family. and 2.) opening one gift each on Christmas eve. I can't wait for my daughter to beold enough to enjoy these traditions as much as I do!

it's so hard to pick a favorite christmas tradition.... it's such a special time of year. i would say our christmas eve traditions are the most memorable- lasagna dinners, looking at lights, dropping off our last present to our 12 days of christmas family, scones and hot chocolate, Jesus' birth story.

One holiday tradition that will always be a favorite of mine is having everyone open one gift on Christmas Eve. The gift is always Christmas pajamas to wear to bed, so that way everyone is opening their presents in their new pajamas the next morning!

My favorite Christmas tradition is reading Twas The Night Before Christmas to my daughter on Christmas Eve together with my husband before she goes to sleep. It's the same tradition carried down from my parents to me as a child.

My favorite Christmas tradition is the big shopping trip to the grocery store with the family followed by a drop off at the foodbank.My kid knows there are people not so fortunate out there and that it's important to help. After that we usually bake cookies for all the neighbors.

My favorite tradition is happening tomorrow! We check the kids out of school before lunch and take them out to The Old Spaghetti Factory. We love having a day out with them when the crowds are smaller. After lunch, we go see Santa and there is never a line. Then we take them back to finish school. We all look forward to our annual family lunch date.

My favorite family Christmas tradition is baking with my sisters. We bake different desserts throughout the month and afterwards, while eating them, my whole family sits by the fireplace playing games and listening to the Christmas music playing in the background. We're a really close family so having 2 weeks off, all together, is awesome because we then spend those 2 weeks doing all kinds of things.

My favorite Christmas tradition when we were foster parents was when St. Nick came on 12/9 and the boys were able to look in their stockings and open their gifts. On Christmas morning we celebrated Jesus birthday with a cake for breakfast and a new family devotional book or kid's Bible. Then they were able to unwrap one gift (book) per day for the next 12 Days of Christmas.

My favorite family Christmas tradition is getting out of the house to see all of the lights in the neighborhood. We sip hot chocolate and sing Christmas songs and walk along the heavily decorated streets in the neighborhood.

We always got wrapped mandarin oranges in our stockings. I can't find the brand in town any more, and I can't tell you how sad that makes me... Maybe a little pathetic, but that was ALWAYS in our stockings!!sis_celiadawn at ya hoo dot com

Little Reminders

Welcome to my little spot. I love to craft and be creative. It is my way of relaxing from a busy day with two little adorable girls. I am a stay at home mom that enjoys trying new things to make my house a home. I really enjoy anything that lets be creative. This blog is a way for me to document projects I have made and ideas to be used in the future.
